I found an old quote from a writing journal where Iβd first been sketching out the ideas that later became my book:
βFor life lives by continual giving (love). Without love, there is only death.β

What if over 10,000 years ago, when Ireland was an ancient forest, it was inhabited by faeries and dryads? π§π³ They live in harmony - until one faerieβs discontentment threatens to destroy the forest.

Writers: How do you keep the story ideas flowing when youβre too busy to write? For me, Iβve been making character playlists that Iβll reflect to while driving, listening to inspiring books/history videos at work, and recording all my random ideas on a notes app on my phone.

Writers - if you could name one book that influenced you the most as a writer, what would it be? Mine is At the Back of The North Wind by George MacDonald. π¬οΈπ€

To artists of all kinds: A reminder to please protect all creative spaces against AI. Don't take jobs away from writers, or visual artists, or voice narrators, or a musician, or any other creative. Hire and support human art. We have to fight this together.

I just discovered I can plant one tree for every person who backs my Kickstarter through One Tree Planted!! π± My book The Rooted and the Winged is a cry to save our trees, so I am SO happy about this. Kickstarter releases April 22nd - so soon. #fantasybooks
Highly recommend! I think about the characters on terms of their cognitive functions and how that determines their actions and thinking patterns.
Truth. π
#writers How many of you use the 16 Personalities / Meyers Briggs to write your characters? π Itβs my secret hack personally! (Iβm pitting a INFJ vs a ENTJ as deadly rivals in my next story which is going to be SO much fun)
Just because some people have a rotten idea of goodness doesn't mean that the idea of goodness is rotten.
A question for my fellow author/illustrators: When you think of your story, do you think more in pictures or words?
Iβve noticed that when Iβm trying to write my story in my head, my brain defaults to just pictures and I have to force it to give me words!
